Title: Robust and invariant audio pattern matching
Inventor: WANG AVERY LI-CHUN
IPC: G10L15/10
Filed: 2003-04-18
Abstract: The present invention provides an innovative technique for rapidly and accurately determining whether two audio samples match, as well as being immune to various kinds of transformations, such as playback speed variation . The relationship between the two audio samples is characterized by first matching certain fingerprint objects derived from the respective samples. A set (230) of fingerprint objects (231, 232), each occurring at a particular location (242), is generated for each audio sample (210). Each location is determined in dependence upon the content of respective audio sample (210) a nd each fingerprint object (232) characterizes one or more local features (222) at or near the respective particular location (242). A relative value is nex t determined for each pair of matched fingerprint objects. A histogram of the relative values is then generated. If a statistically significant peak is found, the two audio samples can be characterized as substantially matching.

Title: Line-scan laser ophthalmoscope
Inventor: FERGUSON R DANIEL
IPC: A61B3/12
Filed: 2003-06-13
Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a line-scanning laser ophthalmoscope (LSLO) are disclosed. The LSLO uses a substantially point source of light, such as an infrared laser or a super-luminescent diode. The point source is expanded to a line. The LSLO scans the line of light in a direction perpendicular to the line across a region of an eye having an undilated pupil. The reflected light is received confocally, using monostatic beam geometry. A beam separator, such as a turning prism or mirror, diverts one of the incoming light and the reflected light to separate the light. An optical stop prevents non-confocally received light from reaching a one-dimensional detector, such as a linear CCD  array. An electrical signal responsive to the output light at each of a plurality of locations along the line of output light is processed to provide images of the scanned portion of the eye.

Title: Apparatus and method for dynamic channel mapping and optimized scheduling of data packets
Inventor: KRAUSE EDWARD
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-11-26
Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method combines a set of digital streams (404) into a set of digital multiplexes. This can include, for example, identifying a first communication channel that is currently accepting packets at a rate that can cause the nominal capacity of the channel to be exceeded. A second communication channel that is currently accepting packets at a rate that is less likely to cause the nominal capacity of the channel to be exceeded is also identified. One or more of the streams that comprise the multiplex that is assigned to the first communication channel are selected to form selected streams. Further, the packets of the selected streams can be reassigned from the multiplex corresponding to the first communication channel to the multiplex corresponding to the second communication channel. In some embodiments, one or more receivers of one or more of the selected streams are instructed to retune from the frequency corresponding to the first communication channel to the frequency corresponding to the second communication channel.
